It the pain remains. I would recommend seeing a dentist in order to get to the root cause of why that tooth is hurting.
- Skin is shedding on the inside of my mouth (my cheeks). - FindaTopDocThe clinical appearance is that the lining of the cheek appears to be sloughing off. The most common cause appears to be a correlation with a new toothpaste that they are using. I have found most of the time it is a toothpaste that features tartar control as one of the benefits of using this particular toothpaste. There are many brands available.
- Should you rinse with salt water before or after brushing - FindaTopDocUnless you have gum disease (periodontal disease) rinsing your mouth with salt water is unnecessary. Some people will mix a little salt with sodium bicarbonate to produce a toothpaste. Arm and Hammer makes a toothpaste using similar ingredients. If you live in a very hot climate, be sure you have enough salt intake to compensate for sweating.

For high risk cavity patients prescription toothpastes such as Prevident 5000 is highly recommended.
